Abstract
The meaning of the film american psycho has been much debated since its release. Is it a glorification of violence? a satire of the yuppie lifestyle of the eighties? a disturbing trip through psychosis? Based on the controversial novel by Bret Easton Ellis, it is most often considered a black satire, commenting on the narcissism and excess of the young affluent Americans of the eighties and revealing the ugliness of their society.
